The retrieval of the dormant layers hidden within the cube took several hours, using a a hand built manual tool. The physical strength needed to twist proved to be a challenge, as the teeth gripped the block it fought back, not allowing us to take huge strides at a time but slowly twisting its way into the core. Stopping only to gauge the depth or if exhausting had hit its peak.

The focal point of the room has altered as the object central to the space begins to grow. Things have grown exponentially since phase 5. The cube has expanded upwards and outwards as it begins to fill itself with history and matter.

Layers can signify a journey, the difference in places we interact with. The dust in one location will not be the same as another, even though they look remarkably similar. It’s these slight differences that appear in this project and we aim to highlight them. Over time, however, this matter alters. It grows or degrades, its never the same as it once was and its seen passively. We don’t notice this matter. It is hidden to our eyes.
